This is a Department of Defense Parkinson's disease research award for early-career investigators only: fellows working under a mentor, or independent early-career PIs who already have preliminary data. The early-career investigator must be the PI, clinical trials are not allowed, and no previous Parkinson's research experience is required. If you are an established researcher, a business outside biomedical research, or you want to run a clinical trial, do not apply.

DoD Parkinson's Research Program Early Investigator Research Award funds early-career investigators (fellows with a mentor, or independent early-career PIs with preliminary data) conducting Parkinson's disease research within the program's four FY26 focus areas. Clinical trials not allowed. Applicants may be any entity type; the early-career investigator must be the PI.
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Parkinson’s Research Program (PRP) Early Investigator Research Award (EIRA) supports Parkinson’s disease (PD) research for investigators in the early stages of their careers. The FY26 EIRA offers two funding levels, which align to the research career stage of the Principal Investigator (PI). Funding Level 1 (for fellows) requires the investigator to receive guidance from a designated Mentor, whereas Funding Level 2 (for early-career independent investigators) does not. Proposed research must address at least one of the four FY26 PRP Focus Areas . Distinctive Features: · The Early Investigator is considered the PI of the application and must exhibit strong potential for and commitment to pursuing a career as an investigator at the forefront of PD research; however, the PI is not required to have previous PD research experience. · Funding Level 1: Applications must include at least one Mentor appropriate to the proposed research project who has experience in PD research and mentoring, as demonstrated by a record of active funding, recent publications, and successful mentorship. The selected Mentor(s) should also demonstrate a clear commitment to the development of the PI toward independence as a PD researcher. Preliminary data are encouraged but not required . · Funding Level 2: Mentor not required. Preliminary data are required . · Clinical trials are not allowed.
